[DS] Woopsi v0.99.5

The big change this time around is the rendering system. Instead of each gadget needing to redraw itself when its appearance changes, gadgets now push their damaged rectangles to a queue that is redrawn every VBL.

In short - redrawing the screen is faster and the code is simpler.

The FreeType library and associated classes are no longer being distributed as part of Woopsi. Instead, Lakedaemon has put together a distribution of Woopsi that includes ported libraries and extra classes. These provide Woopsi with a wealth of extra functionality. His distribution can be found here:
